Twenty kilometres away from the site of the recent massacre, Jiryoku sat beneath a tree, his breath slightly laboured. "It seems I pushed myself too far. I can't maintain Zero Gravity for an extended period, especially when combining it with a ninjutsu like Tornado. The strain on my body is immense. I've already depleted around 70% of my chakra with that technique, and utilizing Zero Gravity has sapped nearly 60% of my physical strength. If I were to engage in combat with that hidden elite Jonin, I would need to activate the Evolving Amplifier Mark."
After resting for a few hours, Jiryoku rose from his spot and proceeded in the direction of Konoha.
...…
In the evening, Kakashi entered Konoha, his expression solemn, and promptly made his way towards the Hokage's building. Suddenly, a voice rang out, "My eternal rival Kakashi, let's have a race competition between you and me!" It was Might Guy, running towards Kakashi, with Lee following closely behind.
"Not now, Guy. I have an important matter to report to Hokage-Sama," Kakashi replied, his tone serious. He swiftly employed Body Flicker technique to depart.
Perceiving the seriousness in Kakashi's voice, Guy refrained from stopping him. He then turned to Lee and said, "It seems something has happened. I will head to the Hokage's office. You should continue your training as per the instructions I provided." With those words, Guy also set off for the Hokage's office.
...…
Inside the Hokage's office, Hiruzen was engaged in a discussion with Shikaku, Inoichi, and other members of the intelligence department. Inoichi appeared dazed, catching Hiruzen's attention. He inquired, "Is there a problem, Inoichi? You seem to have something on your mind."
Inoichi snapped out of his reverie and replied, "Huh? Oh, I apologize, Hokage-sama. I was just thinking about the intelligence I received."
The mention of intelligence puzzled everyone present. Hiruzen pressed further, asking, "What kind of intelligence are you referring to?"
"In the intelligence I received, it is clearly mentioned where and when Jiryoku will be. But how could this information be known to the people of the Black Market? It is only known by the members of his team and..." Inoichi's voice trailed off. Although he didn't continue speaking, everyone present understood that the other members of Jiryoku's team belonged to the Hyuga clan, suggesting that the information might have leaked within the clan.
"I believe he is being targeted," Inoichi concluded.
"Don't worry, Jiryoku will be fine. Let's not overthink it, considering there is a team of Hyuga clan members consisting of one Jonin and two Chunin," reassured Hiruzen.
Inoichi wanted to continue speaking but was halted by a glance from Shikaku. Taking the cue from Shikaku's signal, Inoichi refrained from saying more. Just then, a knock was heard at the door of the Hokage's office.
"Come in," invited Hiruzen.
The gate of the Hokage's office opened, and Kakashi entered followed by Guy. Upon seeing Guy, Kakashi asked him, "Why did you follow me?" With a wide grin, Guy replied, "Observing your serious countenance, I surmised that the village might require my youthful energy, so I decided to join you." Witnessing Guy's typical behavior, Kakashi and the others were not surprised, and they disregarded him. At that moment, Hiruzen spoke up, "You appear to have a serious expression. Has something occurred?"
"Yes, when I was returning after completing the A-level mission, I encountered a team of eight Hyuga ninjas. They seemed to be observing something, so without raising their suspicion, I approached the area they were focusing on. To my surprise, I witnessed a 13 to 14-year-old boy engaging in combat with the black market ninjas. Actually, I wouldn't simply say 'fighting'; he was single-handedly annihilating them. After observing him for a while, I came to the realization that it was Jiryoku, the one who was expelled from the Hyuga clan." Kakashi recounted the events to the others.
After Kakashi finished describing what had happened, there was a moment of silence. Inoichi stood up and asked, "So, you're saying that Jiryoku single-handedly eliminated the 'Black Hunter' group?"
"Yes, I witnessed it firsthand. Taking down the leader alone is something I can do, but defeating the entire team by himself is beyond my capabilities," Kakashi replied.
"He's only ten years old, yet he possesses such incredible strength," Shikaku expressed his astonishment.
"Where is he currently?" Hiruzen inquired.
"I'm not sure. After killing the Hyuga clan members, he left with a warning, and I didn't want to engage with someone like him," Kakashi explained.
"Keep surveillance outside the village, and as soon as Jiryoku appears, inform him to meet me," Hiruzen instructed one of the ANBU members.
Hiruzen then turned to Guy and said, "Go and summon the Clan Head and Hyuga Elder to meet with me."
With a nod, Guy hurried off to the Hyuga clan to carry out Hiruzen's orders.
...…
Just 15 minutes later, Jiryoku arrived in Konoha, and an ANBU ninja appeared before him, saying, "Hokage-sama has summoned you."
Jiryoku nodded and made his way towards the Hokage building.
Meanwhile, Hiashi and the Hyuga Elder also arrived at the Hokage's office after receiving the message from Guy.
